ministries of education, culture, information, sports and tourism, Academy of Sciences of Belarus, representatives of the Presidential Administration and Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus, rectors of the leading higher education institutions, heads of museums and managing directors of public associations.
Today, eight UNESCO departments and eleven associated UNESCO schools oper-ate in the country. Besides, Belarus participoper-ates in a number of other programmes and projects focused on the maintenance of intangible cultural heritage and the like.
At the same time, cooperation with UNESCO structures in the sphere of adult edu-cation, such as the Institute of Lifelong Learning in Hamburg, is practically absent. The Republic of Belarus did not submit the national report and decided not to participate in the preparation of CONFINTEA VI. It was only in 2015 that the country took part in the GRALE III monitoring survey.
Having borders with the European Union, the Republic of Belarus has rather com-plicated relations with Europe, but a certain upturn in relations has recently fostered cooperation in the sphere of adult education.
In 2014, for instance, the European Commission approved substantial financial assistance to Belarus to modernize its vocational education and training (VET) and employment system. In May 2015, the Republic of Belarus joined the Bologna Process.
Nevertheless, the European vector of influence on the transformation of the adult edu-cation system remains quite limited and rather indirect, which is the result of:
c
c the activity of the European Training Foundation (where adult education is seen from the perspective of acquiring vocational skills and developing entrepreneurial activity);
c
c facilitating the process of developing the national framework of qualifications, which in turn ensures the review of attitudes to non-formal and informal adult education;
c
c funding of the projects of certain non-governmental organizations within the framework of thematic programmes such as the European Instrument for Democ-racy and Human Rights, Non-state Actors and Local Authorities and the like. Such projects are targeted at the development of adult education as a whole and incor-porate educational components for certain population groups to attain other goals;
c
c broadening participation of young people in youth exchange programmes and projects for volunteers within the framework of the Erasmus+ programme.
c
c Unfortunately, the key action of the Erasmus+ programme, which is targeted at adult education development, remains inaccessible for Belarusian organizations.
However, the non-governmental, non-commercial sector, represented mostly by pub-lic associations, shows a distinct pro-European vector and intention to develop co-operation both with partners from specific countries and with Europe in general.
The closest bilateral relationships were established with partner organizations from Nordic countries (Sweden and Denmark) and Germany.
After launching the project office of DVV International in 2009 (Institute of International Cooperation of the German Adult Education Association) in Belarus,

the number of projects targeted at developing non-formal adult education, facilitat-ing the creation of adult education centres, and professionalizfacilitat-ing adult education teaching specialists has increased considerably. So far, DVV International has es-tablished partner relations with several dozen organizations, key ministries and the Parliament. At the same time, it supports local partners in their interactions and with establishing partnerships with German and other European organizations.
Two Belarusian civil society organizations became members of the European Adult Education Association (EAEA), which fostered information exchange and co-operation. As a result, the EAEA President attended the festival of non-formal educa-tion in 2016. Besides, the Belarusian version of the Manifesto on Adult Learning in the 21st century was presented to the participants of the Festival. Moreover, thanks to the projects of DVV International, contacts with the European Prison Education Association were also established.

Summary
The international arena of lifelong learning offers rich country-specific portfolios of historical trajectories, policy frameworks and practical evidence of adult and con-tinuing education. This book provides an introduction to the case of Belarus and outlines the key features of its system alongside issues such as political and legal agendas, schemes of participation, provision and financing or trends in profession-alization, research areas and transnational linkages. Through the lens of adult and continuing education, the author invites researchers, practitioners, students and per-sons interested in international-comparative perspectives to a tour d’horizon of the Belarusian lifelong learning landscape.
